Foreigners are still better off having the levy in Cyprus (with the share potentials) than receiving poor (zero) interest elsewhere or having the same thing happen in other banks. For example, UK banks hardly pay any interest and charge 40% on any they do, to the wealthy.
Which part of "the shares are completely worthless" do you fail to comprehend...?
Which part of "If the shares had any value the banks and government would have sold them to raise the desperately needed funds" is too complicated for you to understand...?
Which part of "this is worse than poor interest, this is -10% interest" confuses you...?
Which part of "This sends a disastrous message to investors which will start a run on the banks across Europe" do you think is unreasonable...?
